“These are poems of inquiry without the presumptuous rhetoric, wonder without the rhapsodic glitz ... I’ve read very few poets of my generation who have so decidedly shrugged off pretense and posturing.” ―Matthew Henriksen

The poems in Sara Nicholson's The Living Method imaginatively grasp the raw materials of nature, calling the reader to the “outer limits of the dark,” where one notices the music of the woods and gardens while searching for “the youngest photo of the night.” These poems explore and create various orders of images, a mysterious taxonomy of words and scraps of phrases that revive what in lesser hands would remain dying metaphors. Here, in her debut collection, a new and singular poetic logic reveals itself, growing tenderly out of the “droning chamber” of the poet's throat, through Google image searches and from the rich soil of archaic landscapes.
Sara Nicholson is the author of What the Lyric Is and The Living Method, both from The Song Cave. She lives in Boise, Idaho.
